MES & Process Minds 2012

MES & Process Minds 2012 - Improving Quality & Compliance and increasing Operational Excellence with Manufacturing Execution Systems in Pharma & Life Sciences Industries

Life sciences producers are faced with a multitude of new challenges. Economic pressures like globalisation, litigation and government mandated pricing threaten operating margins, while an ever-changing regulatory environment makes it harder to stay compliant. New scientific bases for innovative products increase the complexity of manufacturing. Initiatives, such as targeted treatments and medicine tailored to specific subsets of patients, challenge the industry to change their supply strategy from a classic push-oriented model, to a pull-oriented model, already common in other industries.
